Barfight At The Buffet

Hattori wouldn't make a habit of coming out this far. He was several days travel from Ashen and as a shinobi he really ought to stick closer to home, but a case of itchy paws had hit him pretty hard and in his defence he had made the journey in good time. Nothing to sneeze at least. The Valley that now surrounded him was lush and verdant, clearly earning it's Emerald name, but there was more to this place then just pretty scenery. The scent of fresh blood from a kill caught his attention and Hattori was not above bullying lesser predators out of the way, or even fighting them to claim the prize for himself. Except perhaps 2 male lions were a little too much for him to take on himself. One was already in the throws of a brawl with a pair of wolves, whilst the other was reclining back over it's kill like a makeshift, and still warm sofa, as though it was more than content to let the other male deal with the situation.
Hattori rushed into the brawl, hoping to diverts the lion's attention as he let out a rumbling snarl, like distant thunder. Having fought a few cats by now he had a fairly good idea on how to approach this, that they would all have to strike hard and fast if they hoped to drive this beast away. And perhaps even the second lion if it came down to it. Skirting around so he he caught the lion's eye, he held the beasts gaze for a moment before lunging forward with talons extended. It was a bait of course, he wasn't foolish enough to smack the lion head on when he'd no doubt return in kind. Instead he felt the attack whiff right past his head as he ducked down and gave the lion a sharp jab with his horns, right under his arm when the skin was at it's thinnest.
